3. DOCUMENTATION

   Documentation is not yet available. We are updating the manual
   for the next beta. You can check out an old manual at the
   PM123 homepage (http://www.teamos2.sci.fi/pm123)

4. USING PM123 AS A NETSCAPE HELPER APPLICATION

   You can use PM123 as a Netscape helper app directly. PM123
   knows how to handle .M3U files and streams them directly
   for the server via HTTP. PM123 also handles URL's directly
   from commandline or via "Open URL" in main menu. Set up
   "audio/x-mpegurl" to Netscape and set Launch Application
   to PM123.

   You can test HTTP streaming with this URL:
   http://www.cam.org/~guardia/warworld.m3u

   You can also play the file directly:
